Olecranon fractures are a common fracture of the upper extremity. The primary aim was to investigate the evolution of olecranon fractures and fixation method over a period of 12 years. The secondary aim was to compare complication rates of Tension Band Wiring (TBW) and Plate Fixation (PF).
Olecranon (olekranon) je anatomický termín, který označuje výběžek kosti loketní , plným názvem jde proto o olecranon ulnae. Olecranon v podstatě tvoří kostěný základ lokte a pomáhá chránit loketní kloub. Klinicky významné jsou fraktury olecranonu, které mohou vzniknout při pádu na ohnutý loket.
22 maj 2024 · Olecranon fractures are a result of direct or indirect forces, or a combination of both (1). Direct forces drive the olecranon into the distal humerus, often producing comminuted fractures with depressed joint fragments, similar to a tibial plateau fracture. Olecranon fractures, which occur
Olecranon Fractures are common fractures of the elbow that lead to loss of extensor mechanism. Diagnosis can be made with plain radiographs of the elbow. Treatment may be nonoperative for nondisplaced fractures with an intact extensor mechanism.
22 paź 2023 · Olecranon fractures (OFs) are the most common proximal ulna fracture that can be associated with injuries around the elbow including soft tissue injury, elbow dislocation, and proximal radius fracture [1, 2]. Subcutaneous location of the ulna predisposes it to trauma.

29 kwi 2023 · The olecranon is the region of the proximal ulna from its tip to the coronoid process. It articulates with the trochlea of the distal humerus and therefore all olecranon fractures are intra-articular fractures. The olecranon is the site of insertion for the triceps muscles.
